Solaymaniah FuturesFiled Under: Quick Facts, Tennis

I finished playing the last two Futures of the year held at Solaymaniah city. I reached quarter final in the first week and won the second week. I am really happy that i won the second week which was 15000 $ Future. It was tough playing there because of the courts, lots of bad bounces so it was not easy to control the match. Every match was a challenge for me, i had to play against the court (bad bounces) the other player and my mind. Playing in these kind of situations makes u tougher and tougher. In my semi final, i won 76 76, i was serving 54 first set and 53 second set. In the final i won 76 67 64 it was very tight because i was playing against a big server so it was very difficult to break or return his serve so all the pressure was on me how to hold my serve, playing against big servers is really annoying because usually u can’t rally with them, u just have to focus on  holding serve and trying  to get mistakes on his serve, i got my first and only break with a double fault

I am preparing my self now for the African Cup Of Nations that will be held at Smash Academy starting the 9th of Nov. We’ll play singles, doubles and teams competitions; I’m looking forward to winning that competition for my self and for  Egypt so good luck for me and our Egyptian team.
